She doesn't want to pretend anymore

Gou Wa’s grandmother’s eyes were almost blinded by crying.

Only a few elderly people in the village would occasionally come to talk to her, but no one else could understand her suffering.

"You really shouldn't go. Just like those people, they can't come back once they go."

"But many people have come back." Manshu did not disbelieve what the old lady said.

However, they still need to investigate it themselves to find out what is so strange in this mountain.

"By the way, grandma, you are here. Did you see anyone going up the mountain today? There was a fat guy among them. Probably..."

Manshu gave a brief description of Fatty Sun.

Gou Wa's grandmother shook her head: "I don't know what you mean. I can't see clearly."

Manshu?

I just don’t know what to say.

She finally understood why those people said that Grandma Gou Wa was talking nonsense and told people not to believe what she said.

It must be because Gou Wa’s grandmother’s eyesight is a little blurry, so others think she is seeing things.

One might also suspect that she knew that the baby was taken away by the blind bear, but she deliberately said it was a monster to comfort herself.

Manshu could only say, "Thank you, grandma. If you think of anything else, please tell us. We will go back first."

"Where are you going back to? Home, not to the mountain?" Gou Wa's grandmother was a little happy when she heard this, thinking that she had finally persuaded the two people.

But the next second, I heard Manshu say, "Let's go back to the inn and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning. I wonder if we can see the sunrise."

"Don't look at the sunrise. Let's go back. There is nothing in the mountains but monsters."

Naturally, Manshu would not respond to this and just laughed it off.

When they left Gou Wa's grandmother's house, they heard Gou Wa's grandmother crying and calling Gou Wa there.

This time, there seemed to be no clues at all.

It is hard to say what exactly Gou Wa’s grandmother saw.

"Chuyi, do you think what Grandma Gou Wa saw was really a zombie or a blind bear?"

"Or is it someone deliberately playing tricks?"

After Manshu asked this question, he started laughing first.

"Look at me, how did we get led into this trap? No matter what she saw, we have to get up the mountain."

But, is this really the only way up the mountain?

It was nearly eleven o'clock when they returned to the inn.

It was pitch black all around, and even the lights in the inns were almost all turned off.

Only the proprietress of this inn left a light on. She was lying on a chair in the living room, covered with a thick blanket, with a charcoal fire beside her.

There was a small teapot hanging over the charcoal fire, bubbling away. Mansu smelled the scent of ginger as soon as he entered the room.

I guess he was making ginger tea.

Obviously, they were waiting for them.

"Madam boss, are you still awake?"

Manshu seemed a little embarrassed. He searched outside for a long time but couldn't find an inn where people could stay.

"Isn't this waiting for you?"

"I say, you two youngsters are really foolish. You have been walking for such a long time, and you still haven't found a place to stay?"

"I'm not bragging, our inn is the best in this village, otherwise how could your fat brother live here?"

"Hurry back to your room and take a hot bath. I've made a pot of ginger soup. I'll pour you two bowls."

Manshu smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, Madam Boss."

"Drink it." The proprietress poured two bowls of ginger soup and brought them to Manshu and Xun Chuyi.

Xun Chuyi picked up the ginger tea and paused.

Manshu caught a glimpse of his movements and paused in drinking tea: "Well, it's too hot now. Let's take it back to the room and drink it after we take a shower. It will be just right."
